STEM Precision Machining Technology introduces the student to the world of machining technology. Students learn how to properly layout and produce projects through a combination of lecture and hands on instruction. The safe use and operation of the drill press, lathe, and milling machines is emphasized during the first year.

In the second year class, the student continues to develop the fundamentals of machining skills learned during the first year and is introduced to more advanced machinery skills and the basics of CNC or computer numerical control. With approval and recommendation of the teacher, students may spend time in actual work experiences in a machining company during the second semester.
